WWIII or Peace

I came across this thoughtful post by Sky at To Know the Road Ahead:

After the news of all the bombings this week I am so terribly sad.

I remember when Bush decided to invade Iraq and how in astonishment I cried.

It is pitiful that in these times we did not have a leader who had the intelligence and wisdom of Ghandi, Martin Luther King and former President Carter. We were at a time when World Peace efforts were thrown aside and we fell into exactly what the Terrorists wanted because Bush was an easy read. Impatience and agenda took presidence. Tonight there was a poll shown that said Americans expect WWIII but how many supported this action? Too many unawake souls filled with fear or conquering spirit.

With all the money being spent we could have established the most efficient ways to protect our country rather then destroying another which has now lead to the domino effect.

Will mankind never learn that revenge/retaliation, war/death, sacrifice/sorrow...are not the ways to world peace or safety? Only through conversing, understanding and diligent work can peace be achieved.

Someday, maybe someday...
the world will awaken...
